(memory is) A strange echo, which stores its replicas according to some other acoustic than consciousness or expectation.
From Latin resonantia, ‘echo’, from resonare, ‘resound’, the term resonance originated from the field of acoustics. It is a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is subjected to an external force or vibration whose frequency matches a resonant frequency of the system, defined as a frequency that generates a maximum amplitude response in the system.
I suspect resonance is the key to many things, perhaps even as a clue to the hard-problem itself.
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
